Although the arrivals since Monday have been very small, yet the Wheat trade continues exceedingly heavy, so much so, that the major part of the Essex supply on Monday still re mains unsold, although offered full 2s. per quarter under that day's prices. Fine English Barley being scarce, what appeared this morning sold Is. per quarter higher, and the best descriptions of Foreign found buyers on full as good terms as on Monday. Oats support Monday's prices, but the sales were heavy. In Beaus and Pease there is no alteration. SMITHFIELD, Nov. 27. Our Market this 111Mning was but thinly supplied with all kinds of Cattle, and although business was brisk in the early part of the morning, yet prices were the same as last Monday. Mutton was dearer, owing to the shortness of the supply; Pork was cheaper, there being a good supply of Pigs at market, and hut few sales made; Veal remai ns nominally as our last quotation.—There was little or no business doing in the flay Market this morning, and the above article was at the same price as last week; Clover has drooped in price. and few buyers of that article at market this day; Straw went off at 2s. per load dearer than last Monday, and sales were brisk at that advance.

Notwithstanding the advanced .ge of her late 111A.tusiv, she could see to read di,iinctly, with out the aid of eye-glasses, until within the last year or two, The ship Eliza, which arrived at Leghorn from Alexandria, on the fourth instant, brought there the official news of the taking of Derick, the ca pital of the Wechabites, by the troops of the Viceroy of Egypt, commanded by his son, IBRA HIM DACHA. This news was contained in a dis patch addressed to OsMAN PACHA, one of the Viceroy's Generals, residing at Florence. EXTRAORDINARY SurclDE.—Yesterday morning Mr. Turner, who leaped out of his chamber wiu dow on Tuesday, in WeEs-street, Oxford -street, having previously cut !;is throat, died in the Mid dlesex Hospital Mr. T. bad been very unwell for some time, and for several days ptior to his commission of the horrid act, lie was evidently deranged in his mind. The razor with which the unfortunate man cut his throat could nowhere be found ; and a deep cut which was on the side of the deceased was supposed to be inflicted by Iris frilling on some iron railing when Ire threw himself trom the window. Such, however, were mistaken conclusions, for since his death the Medical Gentlemen at the Hor,pital, on Opening the body of the deceased, found the razor with which he cut his throat, in his inside, lying very near his heart. It appears that after lie cut his throat, he cut a deep wound in his side, and having opened the razor, he thrust it into tire aperture, which closed up, and when he was taken to the Hospital, tire wound was sewed up by the surgeon, not supposing that any thing was in the inside, Au inquisition will be held this day. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE —Yesterrlay a young man, named Joseph Nicholson, servant to an Of ficer in the Life Guards, cut his throat in a horrid manner with a razor. He had been drinking, and returned home to his wife a little intoxicated ; he began to tax her with some impropriety, which he alleged she bad committed. She re pelled the charge, and told him !hat be never was out of temper unless be had been drinking, and that it was a shocking thing h! did not avoid it. He replied—" It is shocking, is it ? You shall see something more shocking I. ell , soon ;" and ran up stairs into a chamber. In a few mi untes after, his ►rife heard a great noise, like somebody falling she went up stairs, and salt• the deceased covered With blood, with Iris head nearly severed, and the instrument Iving by his side. He has several children. lie was carried in a hopeless sate to St. George's Hospital. I' 0 IL T It Y. EPISTLE FROM LAKE ONTARIO, JUNE, IS!4. (From The Belfast Paper of the CO'h Nov. 1813.) You ask, my worthy friend, shall I come o'er, To spend my days On fair Columbia's shore ; Forsake toy native home, and cross the seas, To visit that vast world of lakes and trees; Where man is free to legislate or farm ; No tax to fleece, no tyranny to harm : But wealth, content, and true religion reign, While rivers roll theft riches to the main; And equal rights uphold the solid plan. Nor gold, nor birth, can dignify the man ? F.lective all—and may a shoe black vote On such a freedom-loving land I dote, O tell too, dearest friend, is all this true They say so here; but I refer to you : You are UpUll the spot ?-- I am, my friend, And will an honest, candid, answer send, • Front this vast lake, which skirts Canadia's shore, Where falls the Gunnesie with thundering roar, Where swamps extend and lazy rivers glide, Arid forests fringe Ontario's southern side.— I sit beneath a scorching solar ray, That pours around insufferable day; Or r•oa:n the glade to catch a cowing breeze— The hid south-cast wind hardly fans the trees. If in the deepest shades I seek retreat From the still landscape's enervating heat, From every swamp the fierce musquitoes rise, Dart on toy neck, and linz about my eyes; Ten thousand thousand round and round me fly, And drive me back to meet the blazing sky. Nor am I better, if 1 seek the inn, Where hot republicans drink fiery gin,— No calm retreat the tavern can afford, No private bed-room, no exclusive board; I seek for neat convenience in vain, And ;deluge lino the fat est'S attune again. Few sweets of polish'd life these woods provide, And yet they are not truly countrified: That rustic innocence which spreads a charm O'er the small cottage and well cultor'd farm, And gives each tenant of the village. green The healthy aspect and the millet serene, Dwells not within these transatlantic shades, Where rudeness half the moral world pervades. And yet America is all our boast— The 'iankee's pride—the politician's toast ; The laud where men oppressed seek repose; Where liberty's serenest planet gloss's. All this is fine, toy friend: but, w.:re it true, I would nut send a sad reierse to you. Not that I blame the squatter's smoky shed, Nor gloomy pines high waving o'er my head, The swampy path, mud creek, nut- craggy ridge, Blaze track, wind fall, {Jeep rut, nor pole-bnitt bridge. Around each farm, if half burnt trees arist,--. If they're unsightly, I avert my eyes. Nor do I vent my British spleen, and frown, Tito' every group of huts be can't' a town— A transatlantic town, with houses four' A court-house, news-room, whisky-still, and store; A tavern built of logs, where sots may swill The fiery poison of the whisky-still. If woodland settlers shoals of lawyers need To guard their rights, 1 fret not—they are feed. Iloads pav'd with stumps and mud I will not curse, Tho' Mungo Park and Bruce ne'er travell'd worse. Trees, forests, woods, a botanist may please ; But who loves only forests, woods, and trees ? Yet. still along the interminable shade I travel on, nor wood nor waste upbraid ; But thick how well, amidst these forests rude, A Zimmerman Might write on solitude. You next enquire, if, 'midst Columbia's trees, Pure health, or sickness, mixes with the breeze; If men are vigorous ; and it' the rose On female cheeks, high-flusli'd with life-blood, glows ? A question, vitally important, I Shall now premise a suitable reply : Can sultry suns on youth and vigour feed, Can sultry marshes yellow fevers breed, Can sullen woods and wet savannahs make A thottsaHd agues round each inland lake, And this I.;e wholesome—this increase the fire, Of vital health, and make it burn the higher ?— Or, if extremes of heat and coldness join, Arid whirl you from Siberia to the line, — Give men and women both a sickly sue, And leave the bloom of florid cheeks to few; If even now, amid this sultry glow, I shiver if a smart north-wester blow, Do I assert the clime's unwholsome, Sir 1— I state the fact,—the sequel you infer. With all respect to men of other views, This is nut th' meridian I would choose : Not that buck-barley fritters I despise, Nor bacon strong, hoe-cakes, and pumpkin-pies; A smoky chimney I might hope to cure, And even bed-bugs fur a time endure. 'Tis not, however, these defects I blame, But man's anomalies, that want a name; A cold, ignoble. democratic, pride ('au set each foreign excellence aside; And in the fustian of each vain pretence, Break every modest hound of sober sense : " Oar's is the happy land,—and our's alone, " And science, freedom, arts, are ail our own l" But stop.—what's England ?—" England is a nest " Of tyrants, and of sycophants, at best." Suppose, by many a ra:iid tempest lost, All sate, all well, the vast Atlantic crust, A yellow-fever thy arrival greet, Call hence thy wife, thy air-built plans defeat. Or, it arrived in safety (do not smile), 'Tis but the threshold o: thy future toil. Five hundred miles (nay, prithee, do not fret), A thousand miles remain to travel yet. Of forests dreary, crust with many a lly thee, with England's beauties in thine eye, Ere thou roust tied an eligible spot To clear fur culture, and to build a cut. Admit yuu settled iu this happy land, Where all is rudely wild, severely grand ; ‘Voods, rivers, lakes, on Is'citure's largest plan. The ;uansion noble—but the tenant man, A crabbed politician, proud and rude, The child of Nature in her sourest . wood, Who feels for Britain's populace and shore Such love as Cain to upright Abel bore; If you can symbolize with men like these, Who live en►busoua'd in a wild of trees, Come to this sylvan world, this vast retreat, '1'1) fell the pine-true and to raise buck-wheat, To drink pure poison front the whisky-still, And teach the toodful grain the art to kill. Conic to these sickly swamps, and sultry woods ; To rivers, rapids, cataracts, and Hoods ; Come build a cottage at von pine• tree foot. A two day's journey from thy neighbour's hut; Enjoy the bliss for which a poet prav'd, " A boundless continuity of shade;" A lodge in these vast forests of the west, Where thou may'st live unknown, and die unblest.

J. Cot y, Chaplain to the late Lord Mayor, in testimony of the approbation of the Court. THE DF.ATH OF HER MAJESTY. DAvrEs rose to move an Address of condo. lence to the Prince Regent upon her Majesty's death. It became that Court, he said, which had been always distinguished for loyalty, to ex press at this period the sense it entertains of the !nisi with which the nation had been afflicted by the death of the Queen. From a city ancient and loyal like the city of London, the Royal Family had claims to special attention. All tanks j,ined in this sentitnent, which had been so frequently exhibited in our sympathies at times of triumph and exultation, and which could not slumber upon occasions of mourning and regret. All political questions which might arise cutler other ciretim stances were wholly merged in the pots erful claim to esteem which our late Queen had supported for so many years. Considered in all respects, site was calculated to make a deep impression upon the hearts of a loyal and affectionate people. As a wife and mother her character was equally praiseworthy. The tender solicitude with which she had watched over the illness of his Majes.y, and the scrupulous example she exhibited to her' children in the whole course of her life, were parts of a character which for parity and duty was :he admiration of all descriptions of pet sons. The dignity, too, with which she had filled her higi, station was no less remarkable, her Court being a place front which all were excluded whose con duct was deserving of reproach. Mr. Davies con cluded a speech, which he delivered in a very low tone, by moving an Address to the Prince Regent and the rest of the Royal Family, upon the sub ject of the death of her Majesty, who had been for so many years an example to the nation. Mr. JACKS seconded the motion. He agreed in all that had been said, but was particularly stuck with that point which described her Majesty Hs an example to the nation. The Queen was, he said, an example not only to the British nation, but ro all the nations on the Continent. He had, in different countries, heard declarations, both public and private, that the Queen of Engltn'd Was one of the purest character ; and that, under such an authority, it could not but be expected that her Court should participate in that temetkahle distinction. The reign of George the Second, ‘vitich lad been advancing in morals with respec , to the Court, bore no comparison to the purity of the highest tanks of this day. Her example eras to be cousidet ed as the cause. The motion bras carried unanirnoully. The Loan MAYOE stiid, that in consequence of the decease of her Majesty, he had thought fn not to come to the Court hi state, ai he should otherkvise have done. 'rite Toll Committee presented a Report ;da tive to the proceedings which had taken place respect of the toll received by an Officer of the Board of Ordnance, at the east end of Lower Thames -street, which was read, and it was re ferred back to the Committee, immediately io adopt such measures as should be most effectual to protect the citizens of London from the exac tion of such toll in future. On a Report from the Gaol Exptnces Com mittee, the Court granted an annuity to Mrs. Kirby, widow of Mr. Edward Kirby, late Keeper of the Debtors' - Prison. Another report from that Committee, recom mending 7001. to Mr. Piper, its lieu of his loss from not havin ! finally obtained the situation of heeper of the Debtors' prison, to which he had been elected by the Court of Aldermen, was pre sented and read, and a considerable discussion: ensued thereon; and upon a motion being math to agree with the report, an amendment was moved, for adjourning the consideration, and re questing the Court of Aldermen to communicate information upon the subject, which was nega tived; and a division then ensued upon the re port, the numbers being Fur the Report-11 CommonerF, 2 Tellers 43 Against it-7 Aldermen, 35 Commoners, Tellers 44 Majority ].
